INGREDIENT BENEFITS:

Mango butter comes from the kernals of the tropical mango tree. The texture and composition resembles shea and cocoa butters, yet it contains more fatty acids making it a more intense moisturizer. This butter provides skin softness, soothing, and moisturizing properties, and is a natural emollient.

Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree.  Another one of the most popular and well known body butters, shea butter is high in vitamins A, E and F, provides collagen (to assist prevention of skin aging & wrinkles), and contains essential fatty acids. 

Kokum butter comes from the Garcinia tree.  This is a highly prized and healing butter that can help revitalize skin cells, while supporting elasticity and flexibility.  It’s rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and is non-comedogenic (meaning, it won’t clog your pores), making it a perfect choice for dry, cracked, rough, damaged and calloused skin.

Coconut Oil — Now, although coconut oil is not an butter, we’re including it here because it’s consistency is similar to the butters and it’s functions in our recipes are similar as well.  Coconut oil has a multitude of health benefits, which include but are not limited to, skin care, hair care, improving digestion and immunity against a host of infections and diseases.  Coconut oil is excellent massage oil that acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin, including dry skin.  Unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin from the application of coconut oil.  Therefore, it’s a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of skin, which normally accompany aging.  Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. 

Beeswax - Thanks to its antibacterial agents, beeswax has a long history of being used for certain skin issues. Historically, this has included treating burns and wounds.  Nowadays, it’s used to soothe symptoms of certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema (dermatitis).

Vitamin E has long been used to help combat wrinkles and reduce other visible signs of ageing.  As a powerful antioxidant, it helps to reduce damage done by the oxidation of cells in the body.  The precious Vitamin E oil works to block free radicals from the body, which play a huge part in the aging process.  When combined with high amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin E can also act as a natural sunscreen, reducing harmful skin damage that accelerates ageing and increases skin cancer risk.  It is one of the best moisturizers for skin that has become rough or dried out, particularly on the hands.  This often results from over exposure to hot, cold or dry conditions.  The antioxidant power of the micro-nutrient helps to keep the skin supple and prevents it from cracking.

Sweet Almond Oil keeps your skin cells healthy, protects your skin from UV radiation damage, and helps your skin look smooth, soft, and free of fine lines. The fatty acids help your skin retain moisture and can heal chapped and irritated skin. Plus, the vitamin A can help reduce acne.

Lavender Essential Oil gently moisturizes skin, and is non-comedogenic for pores. Lavender oil is naturally antibacterial, meaning that it kills acne-causing bacteria that might infiltrate your pores. This makes the purple flower perfect for preventing, calming, and healing painful acne breakouts.

Lemongrass Essential Oil contains anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness, inflammation, itching, and swelling. As it is rich in antiseptic and astringent properties, one could often find it included in cosmetics meant to achieve soft, toned, and glowing skin.
